Succession star slams Trump and US patriarchy: ‘They don’t like women’

  • Succession star Brian Cox offered a candid critique of patriarchy and political leadership in a new interview with The Times of London.
  • Cox argued that the "invasive and insidious" patriarchy prevents women from holding top political office in America, referencing Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential defeat.
  • He described the patriarchy as a "f***ing mess" and suggested that women should be given more political power.
  • The actor also criticized Donald Trump, stating he is driven by "sheer f***ing greed" and an interest in oil, rather than concern for the public.
  • Cox is set to release his directorial debut, Glenrothan, a comedy-drama starring himself and Alan Cumming, which premieres in UK and Ireland theaters on April 17.
